Earth friendly doggie

Next weekend, B and I are moving into a house with out a yard. This is an issue because we own two fairly large dogs who are used to a fence and an area to play. The dogs are also used to having a regular area to poop. Yes, I said it...poop. If you have a dog, you know what I mean. If you have a big dog, you really know what I mean. Dogs like structure and they form habits, much like people. Where you do your business is important for all of us (don't shake your head, you know it's true). Anyway, I'm going to need to purchase a few supplies to make this transition easier. This is a very real part of being a dog owner so if you don't like it, stick w/a cat.

Dispensers so you don't have to walk w/a stinky bag and get funny looks from runners and cyclists (been there done that).Dog waste dispenser w/biodegradable bags $12Fun dog leashes to motivate me to walk more... not that I'm going to have a choice.Deauville Dog Leash $22 (made w/100% certified recycled plastic)And don't forget the treats for when they behave!All Natural Dog Biscuits $12source (all products): EarthdoggyNow if those dog biscuits only had some sedatives in them, they'd be perfect (I mean, earth friendly, of course:)

I love this post and I know where you're coming from. My b/f and I have a chocolate lab who is high on energy and sometimes just needs to be sent outside to burn it off [even after trips to the dog park]. I don't know what we'd do without a yard. Good luck with the move!
